News to know

No charges were filed today in a case against Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, the Heisman favorite. Winston was facing charges in connection with an alleged December 2012 sexual assault, but the case didn’t reach the state’s attorney until 11 months later, and not enough evidence was found to warrant charges, officials said.

Quote of note

"The gruesome reality of North Korea's continued investment in this vast network of repression has been exposed. We urge the authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those prisoners of conscience held in political prison camps and close the camps immediately." - Rajiv Narayan of Amnesty International, talking after the group released satellite images that appear to show the spread of labor camps in the country. Many who are sent to the camps are guilty of minor - or no - crimes, and the punishment often involves torture, starvation, rape and death.
